Finalist of the 2003 Readers Preference Editor's Choice Award for Biography "Oliver Allen has shared in dramatic, first-person fashion a powerful narrative of courage and faith amidst years of brutality, disease and hunger...I recommend this adventurous book to anyone interested in history and the human spirit's will to rise above suffering." Dr. Michael D. Dent, Senior Pastor, Marvin Methodist Church, Tyler, Texas "This is a true story -- one you will find hard to believe. I'll never understand how anyone could have survived to tell the tale. Oliver did, and you will better understand World War II in reading it." -- Barrington K. Beutell, Associate Member, Battling Bastards of Bataan "A fascinating, riveting tribute to more than 1,100 who died and countless others who were victims of the Japanese "Hell on Earth" that began at Bataan. Red's articulate description of his four-year ordeal as a POW adds significantly to our historic treasures that document World War II." -- Major General Jack Farrington, USAF (retired) "Allen's account of his and his comrades' struggle for survival at the hands of his Japanese captors makes the recent debate over the treatment of Taliban 'detainees' insignificant. His story is a powerful testament that the human will to survive is a soldier's strongest armor. His experiences are part of the generally unknown legacy of our POWs in Japan and occupied China -- Bataan was only the beginning. Oliver's story needs to be read and remembered". -- Captain Hal A. Gulledge, USNR (retired) "Abandoned on Bataan: One Man's Story of Survival" is available in two versions: hardcover (ISBN 0-9713184-0-9) and paperback (0-9713184-1-7).
